"Franke, who retired last August after 50 years of being the women's fencing coach at Temple, grew up in Harlem and had never participated in the sport until her senior year of high school. Needless to say, becoming a collegiate All-American, a college coach and an Olympian and leaving her professional home with legendary status after five decades was an unimaginable journey."

"It’s not known exactly how many Nazis the girls killed, as both were reluctant to discuss it later in life. When asked, Freddie would respond with, “One should not ask a soldier any of that.""

“Avian flu infected a girl recently. It also caused an outbreak at a mink farm. Scientists call it “incredibly concerning,” because it’s the first time that avian flu has spread so widely and so clearly in a mammal population. Virologists are calling it: ‘This is a clear mechanism for a 5H pandemic to start.’

Pandemic is a tricky word.

It’s become heavily politicized.” - Jessica Wildfire

A HS student to their TX school board, which is banning books:

“I’m not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school’s library, that I don’t need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point. I’m simply going to say that no government – and public school is an extension of government – has ever banned books, and banned information from its public, and been remembered in history as the good guys.”

1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.

2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.

3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.

4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.

"In one of the first proofs-of-concept, NYU professor Brendan Dolan-Gavitt used ChatGPT to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability. Other examples include writing malware with lightning speed and crafting convincing, grammatically correct phishing emails."

"The key amid this maze of manipulation is to step back and recognise your partner’s behaviour for what it is – to separate your own emotional responses from what’s really going on. If someone you love has narcissistic traits and it’s beginning to feel like they’re manipulating you, take distance and start a record of their behaviour. "

How can both of these things be true?

1. "Today there are nearly 159 million employed. However, the birth rate—or number of live births per 1,000 residents—at 11 in 2021 is less than half the levels of the 1960s. As Mauldin notes, the underlying problem beyond immediate worker shortages is that we are making fewer humans" (Fast Company).

2. "Last week, Biden marked two years in office - with nearly 4M deportations under his watch" (United We Dream).

"In the end, Brunet’s story is one of a man who was out of his element but found a cause worth fighting for. He was able to help the Shogunate army in their final battle against the Imperial army and preserve the samurai way of life, if only for a bit longer. Brunet’s story is one of courage, honor, and loyalty."

"WHITEBOARD DeSantis’s banning of AP African American Studies is disturbing and dangerous. In my most watched whiteboard, I explain how censoring our history of its worst moments is a tool designed to obscure CURRENT attacks on a diverse democracy." --David Pepper
